Down two pounds this week

Being down 2 pounds is so much better than gaining 2 pounds for the week. Well this week was actually a good week. I ate right, exercised right, drank plenty of water and got plenty of sleep. Why only 2 pounds lose then? Hmmm....I don't know. But I feel ok about it. I didn't reach my walking goal I had set for last month, I only walked about 80 miles last month. But that is ok too. I have added so many other activities to my routine. I am now strength training 3-4 days a week for about an hour to an hour and a half each time, I am still walking and also biking for my cardio now so the walking alone has become a bit less important at this time. My body shape is changing too, I am losing my man boobs and my belly both. I can feel my muscles getting much stronger because I find it easier to actually run at a 6 and 7 mph pace for a minute and not be so out of breath. My workouts in the gym for my strength training are getting a little easier each time so I keep adding weight to my workout at least every week. I am going to try and add rope jumping to my routine for a little extra cardio during the day. We will see how that goes. Also only losing 2 pounds this week, I may look deeper into the calorie cycling SparkTeam and see more what that is all about. BTW, my wife was so excited that this week I was able to bend over and trim my own toe nails. So for this week Not So FatMan (but still obese by my BMI) will keep on keepin' on.
